For your previous query, there is functions in the maya api to find connected edges, or query which polygon is adjacent to each other, under the MItMeshEdge and MItMeshPolygon.
As for the joint rotation, it is very hard to determine which direction you want to rotate but one possible way is to use the face normal as a hint. For example, you can assume that the result will always be that the face will flip in the same direction as its face normal, so you can then use the normal to determine which direction is correct. do a cross-product of the vector of the edge and the vector from the center of the edge to the center of the face and compare the resultant vector with the normal. if it is not parallel, then flip the edge vertex order.
